Wolfgang Laures

Wolfgang is leads the global Supply Chain organization of Perstorp which includes Planning, Logistics, Procurement and Customer Service. In that function I report directly to the CEO. Most recently, Wolfgang considers his greatest success to be the implementation of a global Procurement Category organization with a spend of 1bn US $ and the transformation towards an Integrated Business Planning approach coming from a traditional S&OP style. His biggest challenge is that expectations from customers are frequently increasing and requests are adhoc without the willingness to pay either for sustainability, differentiated services or quality so prices and margins are being commoditized.
